An absolute legend

[@jrussellcase]

They broke the mold when they made Jerry Lee... there'll never be another.

[@1963Austria]

JUst like Elvis, many can play similar to Jerry Lee, but his style cannot be copied.

[@emzid5105]

@@1963Austria much easier to imitate elvis's voice. Try to imitate jerry's singing voice if you can

[@josephroache3176]

So true, but then we don’t need anyone else we have all his recordings & concert footage to sustain us !

Damn I half expected that piano to burst into flames all on its own

The Killer!

Goddamn. The Killer.

He had a lot of personal issues, but you have to respect the man’s talent.

Chris has a lot of personal issues, and you don't have to respect his virtue signaling on the internet.

​@@naysayer1238 Bruh, Jerry Lee literally married his 13 year old cousin. How did he not have extreme personal issues?

[@candidcandid3404]

Please upload the show with James Mason and also the episode with Robert Mitchum (not the one that is already available on DVD but the one that was aired in 1972). And what about Fay Dunaway or Patricia Neal or George C. Scott? I recently saw a picture of young Dustin Hoffman on Cavett's show I'm dying to watch that show. I'm a Dick Cavett show addict and how I wish I could have access to your archive.

[@peterchecksfield9958]

MUCH better than Me and Bobby Mcgee (the band is still cr*p though!).

[@villll]

are they?

[@peterchecksfield9958]

@@villll Yes.

[@markusr7421]

They sound as if they're never heard this song before - bad drumming and useless brass. Funny how Jerry wants to shake a hand with Dick and he oversaw it, haha!

[@gemini2459]

TY. THAT WAS A MOST UNUSUAL PERFORMANCE FROM JLL. QUITE RISQUE TILL THE CAMERA MOVED UPWARDS. JLL WAS A BIG PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF ROCK & ROLL. 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

You knew it then and you know it now. You had too much faith in him.

Still this band is not on beat with jerry.

So you're messing with Elvis again....R.I.P. Jerry Lee...🖤

[@toastertwo1602]

Drummer didn't have a feel

[@bbb8997]

bullshit, Bobby Rosengarden on drums, a jazz legend is in the groove

[@TheHeater90]

@@bbb8997 He honestly sounds like never heard the record or saw Jerry perform it before in his life. He has a nice swingin' feel, but it's way too relaxed and pushed back for this particular song the way Jerry does it. This groove sounds more like The Beat Goes On than it sounds like Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On.

[@yosoypokefanburgh]

Pretty bad band here

[@bbb8997]

badass band

[@ChamboEntertainment]

​@@bbb8997the band isn't exactly bad, but they didn't meet the criteria of the song and how it goes, it's rock and roll, not Jazz

[@youngjerrylee]

God, this band is so weak…. I wish Jerry had his original boys Russell Smith and J.W.Brown as a band. Sadly they stopped playing with Jerry in 1970. I understand that this band was the “program” band and it’s full of fantastic musicians, but they ain’t got Rock ‘n Roll/Rockabilly feel at all…this kind of music is about the feel! And as a fellow Rockabilly artist. Those who have this feel, are (or gonna be) successful! Like The Killer himself!

[@Bluzian74]

Geez.. I dunno... I love Jerry Lee... but Im not sure if this particular performance is anything to write home about. Sorry. Not sorry. RIP JL. You changed my life.

[@josephclifford163]

Horrible. Could it be any more of a soulless, sanitized, gutless, boring, Vegas-lounge-act of a travesty?

[@InsightedwithSalt]

Your band pooped the bed Cavett, Killer was great!

God Bless America. The communist plot theory is so hilarious, cuz communism doesn't produce art or artists.
